The Twilight Zone Parody Series began at The Dark Room Theater 23 years ago. When The Dark Room closed in 2017, they handed the torch over to us to carry on this long-standing San Francisco tradition.
So come celebrate 23 years with us this July/August at Eclectic Box!
This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Stage. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination....in the Twilight Zone.
WEEKEND #1
July 25/26th 7pm
"One More Pallbearer" adapted by Derek Lozupone and directed by Paloma Nazario. Starring Robyn Mack, Derek Lozupone, James Roop, Alexia Staniotes, and Sarah Boll.
"A president, an engineer, and a singer-songwriter walk into a rocketship antechamber...that's not a joke, it's the premise of the show."
"Nightmare at 20k Views"
adapted by Aimee Pavy and directed by Roxanne Redmeat. Starring Chadd Behavior, Robyn Mack, Derek Lozupone, and Luis Paul Canales.
“Nightmare at 20k Views” is a twist on the classic William Shatner episode from 1963. In this version, Mr. Trent Cabot’s obsession with masculinity rings a bit...hollow — “the bro doth protest too much, me thinks.” This airplane flight forces him to face his fears and challenges his very identity. Travel to the Eclectic Box and take this journey with Mr. Trent into...the Twilight Zone.
Special Guest Ned Hansen as Rod Serling
WEEKEND #2
August 1/2nd at 7pm
It's a double dose of "Two"! Come see two sides of this classic!
“TWO (PLUS TWO) EQUALS….?
Written by Scott Munson, Directed by: Craig Souza
As host of “Deconstructing the Twilight Zone,” Althea Bates wants to re-enact and re-examine the classic episode “Two”. However, where the show’s creators saw a hymn to world peace after the holocaust of war, Althea sees a darker agenda. Unfortunately, the program organizers have insisted she “balance” her presentation by including Ricky Ryan, star of the podcast, “Rightward with Ricky.” Sadly, he seems more interested in death metal and sarcasm than in a mutually respectful discussion. As a result, speaks (and severed heads) fly!
Starring Aaron Seymour, Daria Hepps, Christian Jimenez
"TWO"
Adapted and Directed by Paloma Nazario
Two is a haunting, minimalist play inspired by The Twilight Zone episode of the same name. Set in the uneasy calm after an unnamed catastrophe, it follows two strangers navigating a world that might be ending—or might have already ended. Nothing is certain, but everything is changing. Sound familiar?
Starring Roxanne Redmeat and Rasheed Custer
Special Guest Derek Lozupone as Rod Serling
WEEKEND #3
AUG 8/9th
"The Monsters Are Due"
Adapted and Directed by Peter Chianchiano
A quiet suburban evening on Maple Street is interrupted by a mysterious flash in the sky. Power's out. Phones are dead. Cars won't start. But that's just the beginning. As residents try to understand what happened, their search for answers becomes a descent into something far more sinister than they could have imagined. Who can you trust when the darkness falls? A modern reimagining of a classic Rod Serling tale.
Special Guest Rasheed Custer as Rod Serling
